Multi-omics profiling of high-carotenoid hybrid potato lines reveals coordinated metabolic reprogramming and associates with distinct tuber microbiota.

NPJ science of food | PubMed: 2026-07-05

This study uses multi-omics to analyze high-carotenoid potato hybrids, identifying a synergistic network of gene regulation (e.g., CCD4, BCH2), metabolic pathways, and endophytic microbiota associated with zeaxanthin and lutein accumulation. The findings provide molecular targets for breeding nutritionally enhanced potatoes with improved processing traits and stress-responsive metabolites.

Environmental sex determination in the cyst nematode Globodera pallida defaults to male development.

BMC biology | PubMed: 2026-07-04

This study investigates environmental sex determination in the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida, a major potato pathogen, revealing that nutritional cues like sucrose availability influence sexual fate. The research identifies key genetic regulators, including the transcription factor Gp-lin-29 and specific miRNAs, that control the developmental shift between male and female trajectories.

Late Blight Effector Pi05910 Suppresses Plant Immunity by Promoting Destabilisation of Host Scaffold Protein RACK1.

Molecular plant pathology | PubMed: 2026-07-04

This study identifies the Phytophthora infestans effector Pi05910 as a virulence factor that targets and destabilizes the potato scaffold protein StRACK1 via the 26S proteasome pathway. Research demonstrates that StRACK1 positively regulates potato resistance to late blight, and its degradation suppresses immune responses like ROS burst and defense gene expression.

Synergistic gelation mechanisms in β-conglycinin/glycinin/Patatin ternary systems: Tuning multi-scale structure by subunit ratios.

International journal of biological macromolecules | PubMed: 2026-07-03

This study investigates the gelation mechanisms of ternary protein systems involving potato patatin and soybean proteins. It demonstrates that the addition of patatin enhances the network continuity and uniformity of composite gels, providing insights into the food science applications of potato-derived proteins.

StSAUR31 functions as a negative regulator of enzymatic browning in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.).

Horticulture research | PubMed: 2026-07-03

This study identifies StSAUR31 as a negative regulator of enzymatic browning in potatoes by modulating polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity and substrate availability. The research demonstrates that StSAUR31 interacts with StuPPO1 in an auxin-dependent manner, reducing its accumulation in plastids and lowering tyrosine levels to suppress browning.

Diversification and deployment of PRR and NLR immune receptors in potato.

The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology | PubMed: 2026-07-02

This paper reviews the diversity and functional integration of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors in potato and its wild relatives. It explores how understanding these immune signaling networks can be leveraged through genetic engineering and strategic stacking to develop durable resistance against major pathogens like Phytophthora infestans.

Sensitive Fluorescence Detection Method for Dinotefuran Using Carbon Quantum Dots as Probe Derived From Glucose and Diethylenetriamine.

Luminescence : the journal of biological and chemical luminescence | PubMed: 2026-07-02

This study develops a sensitive fluorescence detection method using carbon quantum dots to quantify dinotefuran pesticide residues. The method was successfully validated in several food matrices, including potato, providing a tool for food safety and quality analysis in potato-derived products.

Rhodamine B/gold nanoparticles-coloaded UiO-66 as a novel probe for highly sensitive and dual-mode detection of Potato virus S in field samples.

Frontiers in microbiology | PubMed: 2026-07-02

This study presents a novel, highly sensitive dual-mode lateral-flow immunoassay (LFIA) for the rapid on-site detection of Potato virus S (PVS) in field samples. The platform utilizes a specialized core-shell probe to achieve significantly lower detection limits than conventional methods, providing a practical tool for managing potato viral pathology.

Replacing nitrogen fertilizer with organic alternatives changes the soil microbial community diversity in Northwest China's arid farmland, leading to increased potato yields.

Frontiers in plant science | PubMed: 2026-07-02

This study evaluates the impact of replacing chemical nitrogen fertilizer with organic alternatives on potato yields and rhizosphere microbial communities in Northwest China. The research identifies that a 60% substitution strategy optimizes soil properties and significantly increases potato yields while altering the diversity of bacterial and fungal populations in the rhizosphere.

StHY5 activates StSP6A to control photoperiod-induced tuberization in potato.

Plant physiology | PubMed: 2026-07-02

This study identifies StHY5 as a key transcription factor that promotes potato tuberization by directly activating the expression of the tuberigen signal StSP6A under short-day conditions. Functional validation shows that StHY5 overexpression increases tuber yield, establishing it as a critical regulator in the photoperiodic signaling pathway of Solanum tuberosum.
